Frank makes the best point on passing on this purchase, I would not buy
this engine as a builder. But!!!!
As you are planning to change over from and older I-6 to a newer V8 this
might be a good parts purchase for you. If this engine is a long block
and has all of the accessories still on it such as power steering pump,
alternator etc etc. These parts alone including the brackets and the
unique specialty items such as the harmonic balancer and/or the flex
plate and torque converter are worth all of the aprox $250.00 by them
selves if you were to try to buy them separately. It is possible to
purchase a good 360 engine but having it missing these important parts
is very real. 
I have a running 304 that I am not going to use. It will be replaced
with a 360, but the accessories will be used off of the 304 when it
comes time to make the swap, this includes the manifolds, alternator and
brackets, power steering pump and air conditioning pump and mounts along
with the motor mounts and the torque converter. I also have the 360, but
it has the harmonic balancer and flex plate thus between the two
engines, I have no further need to purchase parts as I have them all.
Anyway, food for thought. 
John.
